Model Highlights

The Road Glide® Ultra introduces new paint color options, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. It features an injection-molded King Tour-Pak® with soft luggage liners, storage pockets, and wrap-around rear tail/brake lights, offering a volume of 2.26 cu. ft. Additionally, vented lower fairings with integral storage compartments add both style and functionality.

The model includes an 80-watt, four-speaker Harmon/Kardon® Advanced Audio system, complete with a CD/MP3 player and CB/Intercom. Comfort is prioritized with a one-piece, two-up Electra Glide® classic comfort stitch seat, designed to improve the rider’s leg reach to the ground and to provide better lower back support. The aerodynamic, frame-mounted fairing incorporates a clear windshield, dual headlamps, and a cockpit-style instrument display.

Aesthetically, the Road Glide® Ultra boasts a black powder-coated powertrain with chrome covers, chrome 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers, black 28-spoke cast aluminum wheels, and an option for tubeless chrome aluminum profile laced wheels. Additional features include mid-frame air deflectors, a chrome low-profile fuel tank console, a deep FL front fender, a stainless steel classic touring handlebar, a passenger backrest with wrap-around armrests, and injection-molded GTX saddlebags, offering another 2.26 cu. ft. of volume.

Instrumentally, the model provides an electronic speedometer and tachometer, as well as gauges for fuel, voltage, oil pressure, and ambient air temperature. For safety and visibility, the bike includes combination stop/turn/tail lights and a clean rear fender with a low-mount license plate module featuring LED illumination.
